The Red Wheelbarrow

By William Carlos Williams

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

Kinda strange, we studied this in class today! So fun to think that we are studying the same poetry 400 miles apart. Was it in your schoolwork?

Yeah i studied it in school. I had to compare the statement 'A poem should not mean, but be' (from Ars Poetica) to this poem. it was kind of fun.
